Dear Neil,
A number of butterflies & skippers in the neotropics are associated with
palm, but don't know of any common names currently using the word
palm. Aiedes dysoni for awhile had the common name of Silver-spotted
Palm-Skipper. The Owl butterflies can often be seen on and near palms
at twilight.
Cheers,
